Lung ultrasound in pediatric radiology - cons.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In the 1990s, intensivists suggested a new type of sonography: lung ultrasound, based on artefacts that receive information even from physical acoustic phenomena not directly convertible into images of the human body. They compared the artefacts from the lung zones with no acoustic window with various computed tomography (CT) patterns. They used and still use US as a tool to evaluate patients bedside, i.e. monitoring of lung recruitment. They included Lung ultrasound in what was termed POCUS (Point-of-Care Ultrasound). Lung ultrasound has been progressively extended to paediatrics in general. The most appealing novelty has been the diagnosis of pneumothorax. Lung ultrasound was developed as a support tool for critical patients. Extrapolation with mass diffusion, in the absence of appropriate training, has led to misunderstandings and dangerous therapeutic diagnostic drifts.
